[LE] How to make flat sheer cliffs

[Grimmace666]

Hey I was just wondering when sculpting landscape, can I make a cliff completely flat, like a 90 degree angle. Get back to me asap please if possible. :P

I'm pretty sure you can, it's just difficult, though my knowledge of terrain sculpting only covers Morrowind.

 

However, the larger issue is that a true 90 degree terrain-sculpted cliff will stretch the texture on it, making the clifface look more like single-color streaks going from the top of the cliff to the bottom than whatever texture is layered over it. There's no real way around it without altering or rebuilding how the engine handles terrain polygons and how textures stretch over them, which is likely beyond the CK and similar game editors. This is why all the sheer cliff faces you see in-game are made out of a bunch of static pieces instead.
